Bénabar

On April 29, 2026, Bénabar takes to L'Olympia for a concert focused on his chronicles of everyday life. Author, composer and performer Bruno Nicolini has, since the early 2000s, shaped a repertoire of portraits and domestic scenes that ring true, nourished by observation, humor and a keen eye for detail. From the songs that first revealed him to tracks from his more recent albums, he weaves musical stories, with a taste for dialogue built into the songs and a tempo that makes the stage hold together like a small theatre.

On stage, Bénabar plays with his characters, slips in asides and establishes an effortless closeness. The arrangements move between pop, light jazz and touches of swing, all in service of the narrative. You encounter those slightly absurd situations, the off‑kilter moments that catch your attention, and the direct address to the audience that structures the concert. At L'Olympia he revisits two decades of songs, blending memories and new material in a set where songwriting and the staging of the real remain at the heart of the evening.
